"PubIic Office a Public Trust"

Among the seven murderers who have
been appointed as federal officials in
Maryland, the case of George Trust has
excited unusual indignation. Trust was
dismissed from the police force in 1878
for drunkenness while on duty. After
ward, he was appointed baker at the Jail.
On November II, 1879. he met young
colored man in the street, stranger in
the city, and asked whether be was a
Democrat or Republican, Before the
poor fellow could reply, Trust shot him
through the head. He was indicted tor
murder, convicted of manslaugnter, sem
fenced for five years to the peuitentiary,
and was pardoned some months before
the expiration of his sentence. The
crime of this red-handed murderer was
well known to the power that appointed
hlu, the strongest protests were made
against his being placed in office, with
out avail. and the decent people of Ball
timore were required to do business
with this wretch as government stamp
clerk. A detailed history of the gam
blers. thugs, thieves, forgers, and MUIR
derers who fill the Democratic offices in
Maryland would read precisely like the
records of penitentiary convicts, and il
Is little wonder that the outraged people
OF that State have determined to cut
loose from any further connection with
the Democratic party of the State and
this civil service reform" administra-

APPLAUSE in church for sentiments
uttered from the pulpit by Christian
minister in his Sunday morning sermon
is. as rule, extremely out of place, but
no sensible man, be he the incest form
alist, could find fault with the outburst
of appreciation that greeted the remarks
of Rev. DR.. Newman, of Washington,
D. c., in his thoughts on anarchy last
Sabbath:
Gould any American Citizen" he said,
"have foreseen ten years ago that to-
day people who call themselves Ameri+
can citizens, who would be insulted if
any one dared to say aught against their
patriotism. who even imagine them>
selves Christians, would sign aud circus
late petition for the pardon of those
whose hands are red with the blood OF
brave keepers of the peace-defenders
of public safety? What power is that
which is the support of these Anarch>
lists, made murderers by their ignorance
and unbelief; those miserable, cowardly
wretches who ought to have been hung
long ago?"
The audience at this point could not
control itself, and, rising in a body.
cheering till the walls of the old place
of worship shook. 1t is hardly an ex+
travagant statement to assert that If
Mr.. Newman's voice could have travel
ed over the whole country and penetrat-
ed to the congregations assembled in
every Christian church holding divine
service there would have been a mighty
National shout of applause. 1t is sell
dom the good fortune of speaker to so
aptly voice Christian public sentiment.

How Protection Reduces Prices.

There lies before US speech deliverd
in the United States Senate on February
27, 1882. by Hon. George NJ. Dallas, who
became Vice President under James K.
Polk. Below is what he said, as coming
within his personal knowledge, regard.
ing the effect of the Protective tariffs of
1924 and 1928 in cheapening the pri-
ces of various articles manufactured
from iron or steel: "The reduction of
the prices was necessary consequence
of the domestic competition created and
excited by the policy. Since 1918, 1919.
1920 the implements of husbandry have
sunk in price thus: Axes, from $24 to
S12 by the dozen; scythes, spades, and
common shovels, 90 per cent. Iron hoes
at 50 by the dozen have given way to
steel ones at 81 by the dozen. Socket
shoveIs, once sold at SIP by the dozen,
now sell at $4 so; iron vises. once at 20
cents by the pound, now at 10 cents;
braziers' rods were, in 1921, imported at
1913 by the ton, and now are made at
$13O; and steam engines have actually,
since 1928, fallen so per cent. in price.
while at the same time the amount of
material and labor of which they are
composed has nearly doubled" Facts
like these are worth entire tons of the
ories concocted by scholars who get all
their knowledge from books, and who
prefer to consult their libraries rather
than go out into the actual world to as
certain what is there taking place in the
daily experience of practical business
men, Chicago Morning Herald.

The Pensioners.

When berries are ripe what breezes pass
By the hillside slope of tangled grass.
As under the warmth of shower and sun
Flavor and fragrance melt in onel
The treasure is bidden.tbe leaf is spread
To mock the eye with CLEAN of red,
And the ant that dwells by the pasture
stone
Tastes the sweets of the hour alone.
When cherries are ripe how fair sky
Arches the hills of hot July,
While over the land joyful lay
Sounds the praise of the dawDing dayl
The reapers turn from the weighted
sheaves
To rifle the depth of dazzling leaves.
And the farthest flush in the tell-tale
East
Calls the robins to share the feast.
When apples are ripe the fields are bare
And the frost dissolves in the kindliug
air,
And murmur of laughter comes and
goes
From the rustling length of the orchard
rows;
The turf is streaked with a crimson hue,
And the loaded cart is rumbling through,
And the dream of a glancing hearth is
dear
When apples are ripe in the waning year.

ANOTHER chapter on Democratic har-
mony comes from Indianapolis. 1t will
be remembered that last week James
Voorhees,. son of Senator Voorhees,, of
Indiana, was interviewed at Detroit, in
which interview he denounced Presi-
dent Cleveland and said that his father,
the Senator, was opposed to the Presi-
dent, and would oppose him for renom-
inatiou. When report of that inter
view was placed in the hands of the
elder Voorhees, he pronounced it "infa'
msus." An explanation was made to
the effect that James Voorhees, is weak
minded, having recently been an inmate
of refuge for the insane. But now
comes Charles S. voorhees,, delegate
in Congress from Washington terrific
ry, also a son of the Senator, who de-
poses and says: 81 have no hejitaDcy
in saying, so far as l am personally con-
cerned, that l do not like Cleveland
blanked bit. Of course | have nothing
to do with my fathers views. l speak
for myself, my father being able to take
care of himself. There has never been
a President who has given the country
such personal administration as has
Mr.. Cleveland" And Mr.. VOORHEES,
cited several acts of the President as
proof of his declaration. Washington
territory has no vote for President; but
the territories send delegates to national
cohventiohs, and Charles VOORHEES, will.
most likely. represent his territory as
one of its delegates.-O. S. Journal.

At the Gate.

Beside mighty city's gate,
Where passed at noon the proud asd
great
To seek a sacred shrine that stood
Within the precincts of a wood,
A crippled beggar sat, and loud
Besought the ever passing crowd.
His need was sure. but they denied;
1--WE seek to find out Godl" they cried,
AS by the altar on the sod,
They knelt-"We seek to find out Godi''
The day declined. The great and proud
Who sought that morn the shrine, and
bowed
Their heads as though in reverence there,
Forgot the shrine, forgot the prayer.
But lOl the man whom they denied
A pittance as they passed in pride,
Dead by the gateway, knew what they
so vainly sought, as, day by day,
They toward the holy altar trOd.
He--he alone-had found out God!

Grains of Gold.

Lost time Is forever lost.
There is no wisdom save in truth.
Economy is in itself great revenue.
Every one must think in his own way.
Nothing that is not true can possibly
be good.
Habit, if not soon resisted, soon be-
comes necessity.
Value the friendship of him who
stands by you in a storm.
You can never command respect un-
less you respect yourself.
He who builds according to every
mans advice will have crooked house.
To suffer the thoughts to be vitiated
is to poison the fountain of morality.
If there be aught surprising human
deed or word or thought, it is moth
er's love.
Narrow-miDded people have not
care beyond the limited sphere of their
own vision.
Never sign anything without reading
it, and make sure that it means no more
than it says.
We are always complaining our days
are few and acting as if there would be
no end of them.
There are none too many flowers in
this world, and not one kind word too
many has ever yet been spoken.
1t is the passion that is in kiss that
gives it its sweetness; it is the affection
in kiss that sancti6es it.
Wisdom does not show itself so much
in precept as in life, in a frmness Of
mind and mastery of appetite.
He that cannot forgive others breaks
the bridge over which he must go him.
self; for every man has need to be for
given.
The influence of costume is incalcula-
BILE. Dress boy as a man and be will
at once change his own conception of
himself.
Stories first heard at mothers knee
are never wholly forgotten-a little
spring that never quite dries up in our
journey through scOrching years.
Perseverance, merits neither blame
nor praise: 1t is only the duration of our
inclinations and sentiments, which we
can neither create nor eXtinguish.
How much trouble he avoids who
does not look to see what his neighbor
says or does or thinks, but only to what
he does himself, that it may be just and
pure.
If the great way breaker do not cast
down hills and raise up valleys in the
bOsoms of men, there is no passage for
Christ. Never will Christ come into
that soul where the herald of repentance
hath not been before him.

THE intelligent voters of Ohio aware
that the machinery of the Democratic
party of Ohio is in the hands of the
same managers and bosses, wire-pullers
and corruptionists as two years ago,
when bad eminence was reached in
State affairs. There has not been a
scandslous purpose of the forgers in
Cincinnati and Columbus, or of the bril-
oers who offered Montgomery county
farms and $4,000 salaries in Zaneville,
Cleveland and Dayton. for legislative
votes. that has been abandoned. This
year, as last, the Democratic State tick
ct, demonstrated by notorious history,
means appreciation of forgery as a steady
and regular thing; and Democratic
Legislature or a coalition Legislature
against the Republicans, would mean to
place the law making power In the
hands of bandits. Gin. Com. Gazette.

ed that Governor Foraker was the orig

Governors salary to $4,000 per annum
In the last message of Governor Hoadly
the following paragraph appears;
The salary of the Governor, though
not illiberal in comparison with the
wages paid to other servants of the
State, is inadequate to the demands
made upon him. l recommend its in

during the first week of the session, so
that it may inure to the relief of my

The genealogy of political myths is a
fascinating study. The old stories are
shifted to new names in each genera
ton. Who does the shifting? 1t would
be interesting to know just the point at
which the old statesman is stripped of
the story, and the new statesman dress
ed up in it. Here. for example, is The
legend that ex-President Hayes had
democratically served his neighbors as
Toadmaster since he became a private
citizen. 1t appears that this was not
only not true of Mr.. Hayes, but that it
is an ancient myth going back to the
days of Jackson and Van Buren. We
alluded to it the other day as showing.
along with Monroe's service as justice
of the peace, some of the post-Presiden
office, and it seems we had only adopted
roorback so old that it had all the ven.
erableness Of truth. There would hard
ly be anything incopgruous in Mr..
Hayes performing such service, for as
the public knows, be has been constant
ly busy since his retirement in reforma-
tory and other useful works, and must
have found the demands upon his time
almost incessant. 1t is characteristic of
bis equable temperament that, as his
friends know, he has never missed, in
the calmer pleasures of these labors, the
excitemenes of the Presidency. If all
our ex-Presidents could have had the
same philosophic composure. we should
never have to ask ourselves what we
should do with them.-N. Y. Tribune.
